@prologic@twtxt.net I have updated to kinda follow this. It now redirects to other webfingers if the resource has a different hostname. I’m still not sure what I should put multiple services with the same domain name. Like if they were to have conflicting properties.

@bender@twtxt.net Never heard of that before. Ill check it out :)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci see here in the okta docs: https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/webfinger/ they are adding a prefix to the acct

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci see here in the okta docs: https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/webfinger/ they are adding a prefix to the acct

@xuu@txt.sour.is that doesn’t seem to fit the spirit of the spec, at least by my read (I could be wrong obv). The example on Wikipedia’s webfinger page,

{
	"subject": "acct:bob@example.com",
	"aliases": [
		"https://www.example.com/~bob/"
	],
	"properties": {
		"http://example.com/ns/role": "employee"
	},
	"links": [{
			"rel": "http://webfinger.example/rel/profile-page",
			"href": "https://www.example.com/~bob/"
		},
		{
			"rel": "http://webfinger.example/rel/businesscard",
			"href": "https://www.example.com/~bob/bob.vcf"
		}
	]
}

and then the comparison with how mastodon uses webfinger,

{
    "subject": "acct:Mastodon@mastodon.social",
    "aliases": [
        "https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon",
        "https://mastodon.social/users/Mastodon"
    ],
    "links": [
        {
            "rel": "http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page",
            "type": "text/html",
            "href": "https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon"
        },
        {
            "rel": "self",
            "type": "application/activity+json",
            "href": "https://mastodon.social/users/Mastodon"
        },
        {
            "rel": "http://ostatus.org/schema/1.0/subscribe",
            "template": "https://mastodon.social/authorize_interaction?uri={uri}"
        }
    ]
}

suggests to me you want to leave the subject/acct bit as is (don’t add prefixes) and put extra information you care to include in the links section, where you’re free to define the rel URIs however you see fit. The notion here is that webfinger is offering a mapping from an account name to additional information about that account, so if anything you’d use a "subject": "acct:SALTY ACCOUNT_REPRESENTATION" line in the JSON to achieve what you’re saying if you don’t want to do that via links.

@prologic@twtxt.net Unfortunately the RFC’s are a bit light in this regard. While it makes mention of different kinds of accounts like mailto: or status services.. it never combines them. It does make mention of using redirects to forward a request to other webfingers to provide additional detail.

I am kinda partial to using salty:acct:me@sour.is, yarn:acct:xuu@txt.sour.is, mailto:me@sour.is that could redirect to a specific service. and a parent account acct:me@sour.is that would reference them in some way. either in properties or aliases.

@prologic@twtxt.net That was exactly my thought at first too. but what do we put as the rel for salty account? since it is decentralized we dont have a set URL for machines to key off. so for example take the standard response from okta:

# http GET https://example.okta.com/.well-known/webfinger  resource==acct:bob
{
    "links": [
        {
            "href": "https://example.okta.com/sso/idps/OKTA?login_hint=bob#",
            "properties": {
                "okta:idp:type": "OKTA"
            },
            "rel": "http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer",
            "titles": {
                "und": "example"
            }
        }
    ],
    "subject": "acct:bob"
}

It gives one link that follows the OpenID login. So the details are specific to the subject acct:bob.

Mastodons response:

{
  "subject": "acct:xuu@chaos.social",
  "aliases": [
    "https://chaos.social/@xuu",
    "https://chaos.social/users/xuu"
  ],
  "links": [
    {
      "rel": "http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page",
      "type": "text/html",
      "href": "https://chaos.social/@xuu"
    },
    {
      "rel": "self",
      "type": "application/activity+json",

    },
    {
      "rel": "http://ostatus.org/schema/1.0/subscribe"
    }
  ]
}

it supplies a profile page and a self which are both specific to that account.

@prologic@twtxt.net I think I spoke too soon. Got it running at https://arrakis.netbros.com/, for now. 😂

It seems like https://proxy.vulpes.one/ runs a code that once was written by @prologic@twtxt.net. Its rendering looks quite nice. Sadly, I am unable to compile it (modified code at https://git.vulpes.one/gopherproxy/).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org As far as I know, they’re still visible in the Web UI. Although, in the mobile app and youtube.com, I believe it tells you that the video isn’t available without having to click on it. They don’t tell you that in the RSS feed, and I agree; it gets annoying.

If we had a custom feed generator that hooks directly into the YouTube API, I’ll bet we could find that information and put “[Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled]” in the title for premieres and remove it when the video is available.

One of the frustrating parts of using twtxt for conversations is the URLs are, well… ugly. Anyone (like y’all yarn folks) looked at using webfinger for translating user@domain accounts to URLs?

More specifically: Will this be expanded into something like Gitea with the concept of users and organizations, or will it stay with a simple flat repository model like upstream legit or cgit?

Also, the shorthand mention syntax has struck again. Apologies, @justamoment@twtxt.net.

@prologic@twtxt.net and @justamoment, this Gitxt project sounds really interesting. Can you tell us about some of your goals?

Testing that mentions are expanding in twtwt: @win0err@kolesnikov.se

This is an upsert. So I pass a streamID which is like a globally unique id for the object. And then see how the type of the parameter in the function is used to infer the generic type. In the function it will create a new *Info and populate it from the datastore to pass to the function. The func will do its modifications and if it returns a nil error it will commit the changes.

The PA type contract ensures that the type fulfills the Aggregate interface and is a pointer to type at compile time.

@lucidiot@tilde.town Hi, back!

@deepend@yourtilde.com We here in the twtxt universe are too Calm™ for the birdsite. Its dramas — which are neverending — do not concern us. Its madness is not our own. Isn’t it a great feeling to be separate from all that?

@prologic@twtxt.net so basically you would use cgit + gitbug with some webhooks?

@ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net The whole ActivityPub integration of Gitea for so-called “Federation” (which btw is a bullshit term) is just total nonsense. I mean I “get it”, and understand the motivations behind it, but FFS, it would have been done without ActivityPub 🤦‍♂️

Hey @prologic@twtxt.net, are you planning on switching git.mills.io over to Forgejo when it launches?

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess that refresh field could be easily replaced with Expires HTTP header (I realize that users on neocities.org cannot control this header, for example). And clients should also respect headers like Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since (304), you’re right about that. P.S. twtwt doens’t have a caching mechanism for now, but I plan to implement it in generic way using HTTP headers.

@win0err@kolesnikov.se @prologic@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org never seen aurora, but there are nights (after solar storms) that people get to see it here in the south of Norway, but I have not seen it my self yet. But I sure wish to one day.

@prologic@twtxt.net: Reduced refresh interval to 7200 seconds :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org: Thank you, it’s really nice to hear that! Sometimes I think I’m a moss, because I really love northern nature :D Pixelfed is very slow indeed, and also buggy. @prologic@twtxt.net: I plan to add an RSS feed for the photography page instead of cross-posting to twtxt.txt. Maybe I should post updates of my website here? For example, I made a fancy New Year’s design of https://kolesnikov.se (which makes @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org’s eyes hurt, haha)

@prologic@twtxt.net: I understand the benefits of using hashes, it’s much easier to implement client applications (at the expense of ease of use without the proper client). I must say that I like the way the metadata extension is done. Simple and elegant! It’s hard to design simple things!

@prologic@twtxt.net On the one hand, twtxt has become more popular thanks to Yarn.social. On the other hand, subject and hashtag extensions took away the simplicity of the protocol. For example, it is impossible to understand which conversation (#base32hash) a tweet refers to or to reply to a tweet without going to a yarn.social pod. Compare with re: in this tweet which can be written without using any client at all

@prologic@twtxt.net: Hmm, I just checked, it should work. Anyway, I will post updates about the project. First of all, I want to complete some features and create packages with pre-compiled binaries

I switched from twtxt client to twtwt (https://github.com/win0err/twtwt). It’s a pre-alpha version now, but it works pretty well and so much faster than the official twtxt client by @buckket@buckket.org. Feel free to check it out :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org when I take him to work I walk him at the parkinglot when I need a break. and on my way home I walk a km or two, and then around the neighbourhood as needed later. But when I go for long walks during the weekend I can walk anywhere from 10km to 20, then the rest is as needed around the house. so he’s well adjusted to short walks as well as long. today he pulled our kids on snow sleds on the street outside here, was really fun :) it was his first time trying that, and I could barely keep up with him. haha.
